5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your air conditioner, follow these basic precautions: Read all instructions before using the air conditioner. If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating of 115 Volts ~ AC, and up to 7.5 amps, the unit may be on a fuse or circuit breaker with other devices. However, the maximum amps of all devices on that fuse or circuit breaker cannot exceed the amps or the fuse of circuit breaker. If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating of 115 Volts ~ AC, and greater than 7.5 amps, it must have its own fuse or circuit breaker, and no other device or unit should be operated on the fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid the possibility of personal injury, disconnect power to the unit before installing or servicing. -Save these instructions- TIPS BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR AIR CONDITIONER Your room air conditioner unit is designed to be highly efficient and save energy. Follow these recommendations for greater efficiency: Select temperature setting that suits your comfort needs and leave the temperature at that chosen setting. The filter is very efficient in removing airborne particles. Keep air filter clean. The filter should be cleaned once a month. More frequent cleaning may be necessary depending on outdoor and indoor air quality. Use drapes, curtains, or shades to keep direct sunlight from heating your room, but DO NOT obstruct the air conditioner. Allow air to circulate around the unit without obstructions. Start your air conditioner before the room temperature air becomes hot and uncomfortable. This avoids an initial period of discomfort while the unit is cooling off the room. When room temperature is cool enough, use HIGH, MED or LOW FAN only. This will circulate the air, providing some cooling comfort, and utilizes less electricity than when operating on a cooling setting. Save the shipping carton and packing materials for future storage or transport of the unit. Please check the contents of hardware kit against the corresponding model PARTS AND FEATURES check list, prior to installation of the unit. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS The unit should be installed on a level surface. Select a suitable location with easy access to an electrical outlet. Leave at least 12 (30.50cm) clearance between your unit and the nearest object, including walls. Install the flexible exhaust hose and the adjustable window slider kit provided (see Fig 1). Plug unit into an 115V/60Hz grounded electrical outlet. NOTE: Use drapes, curtains or shades to keep direct sunshine from penetrating the room but do not allow them to obstruct the air flow around the unit. 5

13 CARE AND MAINTENANCE When servicing the air conditioner, be sure to turn your appliance OFF and disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet. Do not use gasoline, benzine, thinner or other chemicals on the air conditioner as these substances may cause damage to the paint finish and deformation of plastic parts. Never attempt to pour water directly to the front of the unit as this will cause deterioration of the electrical insulation. Cleaning the Air Filter If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, airflow is obstructed and reduces efficiency. The air filter should be cleaned once a month. More frequent cleaning may be necessary depending on outdoor and indoor air quality. The air filter is located behind the air inlet located in the back. To remove the air filter, take out the Phillips head screw located above the Air Inlet Grille and slide the air filter out (see Fig. 3). To reinstall the air filter, reverse the above procedure. Fig. 3 Remove dust clogged in the filter by tapping it or vacuum clean it. Wash the filter well with lukewarm water below 40ºC (104ºF) while rubbing lightly: To get better results, wash it with soapy water or a neutral cleaning agent. Rinse the filter well using clean water, and then dry completely. Drainage When the air conditioner is running at AUTO, COOL, DEHUMIDIFIER modes, condensed water will drain into the inner water tray. If the tray gets full, a buzzer will sound 20 times and the RED LED FULL indicator light will turn on. At the same time, the cooling system stops running automatically. Three minutes later, the fan will also stop. To restart the cooling system, please follow these steps: 13
